Man, you are winning more and more at MS Paint each day.

the bottom eyelids are kind of weird, though

Dude. SICK JOB on the facial fading.

I think you should add the green/black/yellow textured fade in the background. It really adds something to the image that I can’t explain.

Here’s one with a clean yellow to green mix. I used a new technique to create the gradient: I enlarged a copy of the photo color wheel, as I’ve done before… but then I used the spray paint tool to carefully soften each edge of the resulting grid. You can see slight evidence of it in darkish lines that run parallel across the image.

This next one, I decided to try and add a little texture to the green area. It came out okay. I’m not sure which I prefer

That’s so pretty! Do you draw at all on paper or just in mspaint?
